Abstract
Novel tetrasubstituted dicyanomethylene cyclopentadienes are provided which have utility as electron-transport agents in positively-charged electrophotographic elements. The compounds are characterized by the formula: ##STR1## wherein: R.sub.1 and R.sub.4 are each independently selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, halogen and cyano; PA1 R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of aryl and substituted aryl; and PA1 Z and Z' are each an electron withdrawing group.
